what do you think everyone else does every sunday morning? get a more comfortable bike, or yeah... HTFU
I probably need to explain a bit better. I only came out of hospital not so long ago after a nasty bike accident which smashed my hip/pelvis to pieces, so im lucky to be vertical let alone riding
Nothing wrong with me bike, it's a sports/tourer & she loves being on the open road, it's my hip that doesn't like the long rides (& my physio )

There's 9 pins & a titanium plate screwed to my hip for life, hence why I get very sore riding for long distances

Yeah, Just back too. fantastic weekend. good to meet so many decent people, cheers to everyone who i talked/mumbled/slured at, and cheers to those who checked i was alive (comatose by the bonfire in the rain)
Took part in the hill climb, first road bike with road tyres to give it a shot, great fun, and didnt even do any decent damage
nah man, road bike is way better, just ride it around everywhere you go, carrys your piss and its a comfy seat.
yeah, we hit the motorway and some blokes flew past me, so i gave chase/cruised along at 145 for a while till they turned off. seemed to make the time go pretty quickly.
300km for the tank of gas haha!
I was talking to a lovely young lady at the Kiwi, and she was interested in buying my bike, so im not sure how much longer i will have it. im leaving the country in 15 days anyway wooo
